Shape and Problem Search

Sometimes you have a problem but do not know the answer, or you want to see how strong players handled a similar local position in an actual game. In these situations, use 101's shape search.

Select Problem Search in the Problem Library sidebar.

Problem Search field in the sidebar

Place stones to recreate the local position on the board.

Click *Shape Search* to find game records containing similar local shapes.

Click *Problem Search* to find life-and-death problems with a similar shape.

You can also search directly by problem name.

When placing stones, the left mouse button places Black by default and the right button places White. Click an existing stone to remove it.
